of the Australian colonies to the United
Kingdom during the first three months
OF the present year amounted to 217,-
112, 1877 pounds, against 213, 1883
pounds for the corresponding period of
1886. The increase in quantity was far
surpassed by the increase in value. The
value of the shipments of Australian
woods to the United Kingdom during
the first four months of 1887 was S4S,-
464. 730, while that of the same period in
1886 was only 81, 1856, 900. THE ship
ments for the month of April alone
amounted to S1S, ,040 against $780,
$50 for the same month last year. The
direct wool export to the United States
has been very small. The absence of
the usual number of American buyers
was noticed at all the colonial sales, es-
pecially at Sydney and Adelaide. The
few that were present showed no dispo-
sitiOn to bid against the French and
German buyers for the kinds of wool
desired for the American market. In
deed the only effect of the presence of
the Americans at all, was perhaps to
excite the competition between the con-
tinental buyers, which was throughout
sharp and keen and formed the main
stay of the market. The only direct
shipments to America consisted of
$4,000 bales from Melbourne and 100
bales from Sydney. The total number

FEEDING THE POOR.
A Successful Feature of the Capt.
tai CITY Christmas Festivities.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ga feature of
the Christmas festivities in this city for
the past four years has been the dinner
given to the poor children of the Dis
trict by the Childrens' Christmas club
of Washington. Miss Nellie Arthur
was the first president of the club, and
Miss Mollie Villas, daughter of Post
master General Villas, now preSideS
over it. To-day the fifth annual Christ
mas club dinner was given, and over
1000 little ones were entertained and
fed. For convenience the city was di
vided into three districts, East, Central
and West Washington, and tables were
laid in large hall in each district. A
fourth dinner was given for the benefit
of colored children. At the National
Rifles armory $50 children were made
happy with fine dinner and presents.
Mrs. Cleveland, accompanied by DIR.
Ward. of Albany, visited the armOry
Just before the children marched down
to dinner and remained until the repast
was over. At Odd Fellows hall, East
Washington, 600 more little ones were
looked after, and as many more at the
Curtis school building in West Wash
ington. The Colored Christmas club
entertained about 500 children at the
Metropolitan A. NJ. E. church. The
menu was the same as that at the other
dinners, and consisted of turkey, ham,
roast beef, fruit, ice cream, cakes, candy
and other delicacies. The walters were

pupils in advanced grades OF the colored

MRS. CLEVELAND's PETS.
Parrots Are the Favorites in
Washington Society Now.

farfOtS Are the FaVOf1teS IN
Washington Society Now.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Mrs. Cleve-
land is quite fond of pets. Since Hector
has grown big and got to be great
romp, and since the pretty and cute
little marmOset monkeys are dead, she
has a new dog and parrot. The parrot
is becoming quite the favorite, too, and
proves very amusing acquisition. Par
rots are good deal the rage now in
society. You find them everywhere
and of all kinds and cOlors and previous
conditions. The best and most costly
of them are the big ''dOuble yellow
headed" fellows from Mexico. They
make the largest and finest birds and
the most volubIe and fluent takers.
They cost about SIS to $40 each when
they are brought here mere babies, and
by the time they get to be good takers,
say two or three years old, they are
worth $50 to 500. One of these was
Mrs. Cleveland'S especial object of at
tentiOn, and she used to stop and listen
to it as it hung from its perch on the
avenue, whistling, shouting and sing
ing. The African gray parrots are also
fine birds, making great takers and
whiStlerS and costing as much as the
MeXicanS. Cuban parrots are pretty
little green fellows with red thrOa.S.
They are numerous in their season and
make excellent takers, very affection
ate and as full of prankS as monkey.
They cost less than the others but make
fine takers,

particularly true in this rigorous eli

constant exposure to the severest

for instance, when nobody would be-
grudge the mail carrier a penny of his

crease their pay to 500 per month, and
that body should give respectful atten-
ton to the prayer of these faithful
government employees.

What distinction he won was honestly

lacked in brilliancy was fully made up

more value to man in the public Serv-

quality of the man was fully illustrated

1T COMES HOME.

The matter of the tariff is not the in
tricate thing i'll its essential features
that some of our protectiOnist friends
would have the people believe. 1t is
simple enough, after all, when you look
at it from a personal standpoint, and
bring it right home. ItiSsimply that the
many are to be taxed for the benefit of
the few, and that the tax is to come
from those who can least afford it.
The man whose income is small, who
owns no landed property to be taxed,
and who, in fine, must support his fam
lily upon meager earnings, is apt to
think that personally he is not influ-
enced in any way by tariff, high or
low. He makes decided mistake.
The poor man, to whom the saving of
every dollar is an object, feels the bur-
den of the tariff tax, even though he
does not recognize it, far more than
does the rich man, TO whom the eXpend-
iture of a few hundreds, more or less,
during the year is a matter of no mo-
ment whatever.
The tax Oh neceSsarieS, for instance,
amounts, in most instances. to over 40
per cent, the average tax on all imports
being nearly 80 per cent. And this tax
enters into everything the people con-
sumo, whether imported or domestic. 1t
is a part of the price that they must pay
for the food they eat and the clothes
they wear. 1t cuts down their income
by Just that much, since the amount of
wages must be reckoned not in dollars
and cents but in their purchasing
power.
Thus a workman earning 5000 must
give up $50 of it to meet the eXactiOnS
OF the tariff. If he earns 81, 200 annually
he must pay $500 more than he would
otherwise do in order that the system of
protection to industries which have long
since grown out of the need of protec-
ton may be maintained. He gives up a
large part of his income for which he
gets absolutely nothing. He gives it up
in order that the monopolistic manu-
facturers, who bear about the relation
of one in thousand to the whole body
of the people, and whom kind govern
ment aids in enforcing their exactiOns,
may add a few more figures to their
bank accounts.
1t remains with the people alone to
say whether they will continue thus to
tax themSelveS-a tax that they can i'll
afford-for the benefit of favored few.
They possess the remedy. Will they
hesitate to aid the Democratic party in
applying it?

ALL ARE GROWING.

The Twin Cities are not alone in be-
ing able to furnish records of substan-
tial growth and progress during the
year now so near its close. In the Won
derful exhibition made by st. Paul and
Minneapolis people are too apt to over
look the fact that there are other fac
tors contributing to the material wealth
and the prosperity of the state. Though
of course they do not show such marked
advances, the growth of Minnesota
towns has differed only in degree not in
kind, and their growth is even more adj
vantageouS to the state at large than
that of the cities.
However prosperous a city may be, it
can never have attained that prosperity
without a degree of dependence upon
the smaller towns whose aggregate
wants make possible the city'S con-
tinued progress. Nor is its influence
the same as that of the towns or as
great as theirs is in the aggregate.
B 1t under wholesome conditions the
growth of the two, the cities considered
as a class and the towns considered as a
class, will be cOntempOraneouS. 1t is
natural, therefore, that the towns and
villages of Minnesota should have kept
pace, proportionately, with the progress
of the Twins.
immigration to the agricultural dis
trictS has been large. The needs of the
people have increased with the growing
population, and the towns have in the
additional demands made upon them
felt its influence just as the cities in
turn have felt, as the base of supplies,
the increased prosperity of the towns.
There has been general stride for
ward all along the line, and the aggre-
gate advance is one of which Minnesota
can well feel proud.

ITALIAN SILK.
An Unusually Large and Healthy
Crop.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Henry c.
Couch, United States consul at Milan,
has sent to the department of state
report upon the Italian silk crop of
1887. He states that Notwithstanding
the backwardnesS of the season, the
silk crop surpasses the unusually large
crop of the preceding year. The silk
worms are remarkably free from dis
ease in spite of the unfavorable weather.
The silk-reeling and spinning establish
ments have been making such progress
that Italian raw silks possess an even
ness and finish which makes them SUI
perior to hand-reeled Chinese silk. The
consul speaks word of warning to
American buyers. He is informed by
an expert,who is thoroughly acquainted
with the New York market, that while
experts can discern difference of per
cent in the quality of raw silk, the av-
erage American buyer hardly detects
difference of 25 per cent and that I'M
scrupulous dealers have taken advan-
tage of this state of..atfairs to palm off
an inferior article at higher prices.
